In the context of the poem "Far from the Madding Crowd" by Nixon Waterman, the element that would NOT stay faithful to the original poem would be:

If the director made the city seem more glamorous and exciting than the boring scenes of the country.

The poem expresses a sense of retreat from the chaos of the city to the tranquility of rural life, portraying the city more negatively as a place of turmoil ("madding crowd") compared to the peace found in nature. Thus, making the city seem glamorous would contradict the poem's theme.
